Yale startup on its way to $1 million seed round

A Yale startup has raised 75 percent of its $1 million target in the seed round of funding which began in February.

Founded by Ellen Su ’13 and Levi Deluke ’14, the medical technology startup Wellinks features a smart strap for scoliosis back braces called “Cinch.” The product is linked to a smartphone application via bluetooth, which allows users, their guardians and doctors to track data on how long the brace has been worn.
